Summary
“You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
“Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
“The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”(In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

Temporal Shunt (The Art of Vanishing in Place) by Inanerial
Fandoms: Critical Role (Web Series)
15 May 2025

Summary
Essek's stomach whined at him like it too had been cast back into the memories where a grumble would have been too forward. The aching hollowness felt somehow reassuring, even though it was unpleasant. It was a little bit of home—and what has home been for him in recent years but a dull ache?
Essek tries to undo the tangled web of ambition, guilt, and alienation that brought him to steal the beacons. He is, after all, his own punishment.
(Detailed ED warnings in the notes of the first chapter)

Summary
There is so much they should discuss first, before diving headlong into… whatever this is. But Eiselcross is cold, and they’re both so tired of being alone. It can’t really be as simple as that, can it?

Summary
In a shocking display, the unfamiliar drow began to speak Zemnian: “Entschuldigung, aber mein Zemnisisch ist nicht gut genug für dieses wichtige Gespräch." He took one step closer, in small increments as if approaching a wild animal. “Bren.”
“How-” His throat caught as his heart seized. Fuck. He’d already slipped up. Master Ikithon was going to be furious. “No, you have the wrong-”
“No need to lie.” The elf lifted his palm. His violet eyes caught Bren’s frantic gaze, and he visibly came to a decision. “Bren, you are suffering from acute psychic temporal displacement. I highly suspect it is due to a magical experiment we just performed.”
“Amnesia,” he translated. “You- You’re saying I have amnesia. Memory loss.”
(Bren Ermundrud wakes up twenty years later and finds a Kryn drow living in his home)
